Oh! Now here’s something interesting!
Ensete, a different banana genus, has 18 chromosome pairs!
That might have a good chance of crossing with cannas! And it’s more cold hardy than the Musa genus, too!
Maybe it might be worth trying some Ensete bananas, after all. I was thinking I’d stick purely with Musa (because Ensete has meh fruit, and it won’t cross with Musa), but there’s really no reason I can’t do both.
Perhaps I should stop snubbing Ensete, and let them show me if they’ll do things that please me.
